NFL Gamepass blackouts. Will you be signing up?

counterlock

No, was going to buy gamepass for the first time but not with blackouts, will use streams

I didn't cave at the last minute this year. I managed to get a sky go login off a friend. Just a quick question on it though, is the red zone still on the red button and if so, can I access that through sky go?

Can't be accessed wit sky go :-(

It can be accessed. Sky Go has Sky Sports Xtra which is the red button stuff. Redzone is scheduled for tomorrow.

Only through the PC though.

Anyone else having trouble with the NFL Network stream on Gamepass?

Podge_irl

Yup, it completely stopped on me for about 15 mins (I checked the archived games and they work fine).

I closed the window and relaunched GamePass and its working again for now at least.

GoldFour4

Yeah I relaunched and it worked fine, wasn't working for a good while though!

Yeah, it's back up now. Just over two hours to go!

Perfect here!

I'm using a different 'provider' but I'm glad that I also live in the Netherlands. It really is the place to be.

Red zone was on SS Extra on the xbox tonight. It doesn't say anything on the listings but i can confirm that i watched it tonight.

Yesterday was the first time I was in a position to watch RedZone for the full 3 hours. Man, it's some impressive 'telly'. I was glued to it up until the SF and STL games kicked off, and I had to go do some things. I think I know how my Sunday evenings are going to go for the next 17 weeks. Just need to find somewhere doing wings

did you guys in the Netherlands have the 2 games blacked out. I too live abroad there *ahem*, but still had the games on blackout, which I didnt think would happen. No real issues last night with that, but later on I dont want blackouts

Leslie91

Yes, buying gamepass for the first time regardless

Anyone else seeing problems watching games back? I went to watch the Donkeys Ravens and the footage seemed to jump a bit. Often most of a play seemed to be cut/missing. This is v frustrating. (this was the full version too not the condensed)

Like many yes, NFL Network Live was inaccessible yesterday for a time.

Redzone was unreal last nite, no ads has to be the best thing ever invented. When it is not your team playing and u have redzone option no brainer.

I didn't notice any blackouts but I only had it on for the Bears game. I was watching the Falcons v Saints game on Dutch TV though. I guess FOX Sports NL picked it up. Was that one of the games blacked out?

If it was, then it looks like they will black out whatever games are being shown on TV. Hopefully it remains free for the others though!

Just signed up... and when you do, they give you a "refer a friend" link. Whoever uses this gets 10% off and I get entered into a sweepstakes to win "the VIP package".

Anyone here know if you can log into Gamepass, by going online with the Xbox 360? I know you can't do it on the PS3, because it doesn't' support Flash Player. So I'm wondering if you can do it on the Xbox 360.

seems to happen if I log in with my dutch VPN, but then when into the gamepass, revert back to normal internet, it then blacks out the games that are on sky. seems odd. may just keep logged into the VPN.

Yes, this was happening to me aswell, I never copped on really as to why they weren't blacked out all the time.

Just got my email reminder for the auto-renewal.

I see it will cost me €119.99 for the Season Pass, but on their website it's €144.99 for the same package.

Is it just cheaper after the auto-renewal kicks in after the 1st of August, or is it a loyalty price?

I also see they'll have archived episodes of Hard Knocks and A Football Life.

Ask their Live Chat - the guys on there are usually really helpful whenever I've had a question.

I got the €144.99 price today in the email. It mentioned about having downloadable games for iOS devices which sounds interesting. Unless those archives of programmes have been extended to iPhones and iPads and android then it's a waste of time. They said that would happen last season.

Better yet - you can have 16 games (or more) on the go if you want :P
Here's 16 games on my dual monitors - not something I've tried doing before :P usually have quad box muted on my secondary and whatever main game I want to watch on my main monitor (or redzone - usually redzone) so I can keep an eye on whatever games I have an interest in on the side.




Your broadband speed isn't the best but I'd image you should be able to stream at least 2. You can change the quality to 400Kbps, 800Kbps, 1200Kbps, 1600Kbps, 2400Kbps, 3500Kbps or 4500Kbps.

So you should be about to get 3 games going with your main game at 1200Kbps and the 2 other games at 800/400 if needs be. I'm not to be quoted on that and I'll let someone who has similar speeds to you test it out and confirm but I'd imagine you should be able to.

I'm guessing all the loopholes to getting this free have been closed.

I suppose I best pay the €145 so even though it's a bit steep and the blackouts are kinda annoying

kevin2800

thanks for the post johnmcdnl thats looks epic lol,do use unblock us for blackouts and redzone?

Are there any free regions this year? Where would I find out?
